rdio-scanner
Rdio Scanner is an open source software that ingest and distribute audio files generated by various software-defined radio recorders. Its interface tries to reproduce the user experience of a real police scanner, while adding its own touch. (by chuot)

I am looking to get an RTL-SDR for my father for christmas. Is there an SDR program that I can kind of "set it and forget it" for him? He just wants a basic scanner that scans weather and nearby emergency services.
If your area is P25, then https://github.com/robotastic/trunk-recorder with https://github.com/chuot/rdio-scanner makes a great setup.

Software Choice
This is the answer. I use this program and it works great. May also want to get https://github.com/chuot/rdio-scanner as this will let you pick and choose which of the monitored talkgroups to listen to, queue up the messages so you're not hearing a bunch of stuff at the same time (or missing things altogether), and lets you go back in time. It also has a great mobile app that you can setup if you want to listen when away from your PC.

timestampSDR
trunk-recorder can do this https://github.com/robotastic/trunk-recorder while originally designed for trunked systems, it can handle conventional systems as well. Which pairs nicely with https://github.com/chuot/rdio-scanner which provides a nice web/phone app interface to listen to, that includes the ability go back thru a call archive.

SDR APCO25 Phase 2
Then use this as a front end with trunk-recorder. Both are in docker images and run 24/7 no issues.

Using a Raspberry Pi without a GUI to stream scanner audio to a phone
https://github.com/chuot/rdio-scanner is a great alternative if you don't want to stream to one of the public options and it has a plugin for trunk-recorder and a mobile web app.

RTL as a public safety scanner?
You can use Trunk Recorder to record signals and RDIO Scanner to play them as they are captured. That will only work if they are all in the passband of the SDR, but you can use more than one SDR with it.

Police scanner
Trunk -recorder and 2 or 3 RTL-SDR's will work well for P25 and analog trunked systems. Rdio Scanner is a good web interface for trunk-recorder that will let you stream the audio over the internet.

How high is the demand for an open source WebSDR Project?
This might be a big ask but I would love some better software for streaming trunked radio systems, I'm using sdrtrunk to stream to broadcastify, but it requires running a whole desktop environment and I feel like it's a ton of overhead for nothing

DSD+ any similiar?
A second vote for SDRTrunk. I typically don't use a Windows computer, but fired one up to try DSD+, and man, that seemed like a lot of work to get something working that didn't decode traffic all that reliably.
-
Digital mobile radio.
SDR Trunk. It's java so it should work with any OS that supports JVM
-
Is Unitrunker and DSD plus different? I hope so because I couldn't get DSD plus to work! Wanna try UT!
Might wanna give SDRTrunk a whirl, I found it infinitely easier to set up than Unitrunker.

DM-1701 Help
It's worth mentioning that for trunked P25 systems, the voice channels are often spread out so they span more spectrum than the ~2.4 MHz bandwidth of an RTL-SDR, so you won't be able to monitor both the control channel and any voice channels that are too far away from it. I have had reasonable success decoding my county's trunked P25 public safety system with sdrtrunk and two RTL-SDRs, but that still only covers about 4.8 MHz of spectrum, so there are still channels that can't be received. I am considering upgrading to an SDR dongle with wider receive bandwidth (some will do 6 or 10 MHz, IIRC) so that sdrtrunk will be able to receive the control channel and any voice channels, and stop telling me it couldn't receive something because it didn't have a tuner available.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rdio-scanner and sdrtrunk you can also consider the following projects:

sdrangel - SDR Rx/Tx software for Airspy, Airspy HF+, BladeRF, HackRF, LimeSDR, PlutoSDR, RTL-SDR, SDRplay RSP1 and FunCube
trunk-recorder - Records calls from a Trunked Radio System (P25 & SmartNet)
op25-docker - dockerized build of op25
broadcast-server - A simple Go server that broadcasts any data/stream.
dsd - Digital Speech Decoder
